Club 30's "Kill the Boredom Demon" Jive Pad, 16th Edition

Choice quotes from the link:
"Yeah... it's that whole "own little world" thing. Every day is sort of this struggle to keep in your own little world... when you're on the subway, even in a large crowd, it's this odd personal commute time. I've seen people totally flip out when their "personal time" was interrupted on the subway. People in NYC hate being brought out of their personal bubble, so by and large as far as most of us are concerned we're walking the streets alone, not surrounded by other creatures. You just kinda put yourself into that zone after a while..."
"
In general, Manhattanites are in their own little world. Most walk around with little regard for the person walking or standing alongside us. Most seem to act as if they are the only person alive, or like they are in their own homes. Money is king here, and that is what most people respond to - not out of the goodness of their hearts or because that was they way they were raised (despite the quote in the article). In fact, whenever I act in a gentlemanly manner (which I try to do as much as possible) I am met with extreme surprise (and usually appreciation)."
I think both the comments apply Singapore as well. And most other overcrowded cities in the world.

Seriously with the hectic lifestyle we have, sometimes the time when we space out when we are alone in the train or something is really the only personal time we have to ourselves.

Hence the reason why mp3 players like the ipod sell so well. It helps block out all the noise and people. I even paid good money for sound isolating earphones.Originally posted by elindra:Seriously with the hectic lifestyle we have, sometimes the time when we space out when we are alone in the train or something is really the only personal time we have to ourselves.

Yeah that is the reason why people are slowly becoming deaf too.Originally posted by av98m:Hence the reason why mp3 players like the ipod sell so well. It helps block out all the noise and people. I even paid good money for sound isolating earphones. 
I don't need a mp3 player. I'm good at spacing out especially in meetings -

my left turn signal's kaput .... so I thought i'd check the fuse and check the relay ... owner's manual says it's behind the glove compartment, so i took a screwdriver to the panels ...... it's not there ! .....
there's a fuse box panel, but I can't find the relays ..... anywhere ! ... finally found them after tearing apart the lower dashboard ! .... -
